They are renowned for their skill in forging heavy metal into sizable, sturdy pieces of exercise equipment. They can withstand a tremendous amount of daily heavy use and are made to be used by everyone.

Many of our members take their weightlifting and powerlifting very seriously, making them ideal for Ultimate Fitness. You may have used at least one piece of Hammer Strength equipment if you have worked out in any UK gym.

Atlantis Gym Equipment

Atlantis offers various exercise equipment, and we've selected the best among their various product lines. This includes the top machines, cables, and free weights available on the market. You'll discover that we provide gear that is appropriate for both men and women and that can be customised to meet the needs of both beginning and seasoned bodybuilders. When they were first established, the market's biggest problem was the need for more dependable and durable equipment being produced. All modern gym equipment from Atlantis is built to withstand heavy and frequent use.

Our members join because of the atmosphere, the equipment and the first-class advice and personal training we can provide. We are the place for you if you want to train hard and seriously. If you want to compete competitively, you should not be going anywhere else.

Weight training is an essential tool in any fitness and fat loss program. Evidence suggests that more calories are burned after resistance training than cardio alone. Your body continues to burn calories for longer when engaging in muscle-strengthening exercises. However, it’s impossible to target fat loss with exercise; you cannot control which fat stores your body uses if you are in a calorie deficit.

If you are looking to burn fat and get fit, get started by popping in or contacting us to arrange a tour of our award-winning Gym in Birmingham City Centre

You are always young enough to start a new training program and work on your body. However, it’s more prudent to ensure you exercise correctly and rest accordingly. Recovery during resting periods is equally important as exercising, and it is possible to overdo it as we age—our acceptability of issues like injury increases.

Here are our top reasons to join our gym at any age.

1. Exercise is excellent when you have lots of equipment to choose from.
2. The sense of community at Ultimate Fitness Birmingham sets us apart from other gyms. We regularly hold member events and actively encourage a sense of family.
3. We have worked hard on creating the right environment to encourage you to focus and achieve your goals.
4. The many health benefits of a gym go broader than physical health.
